Default Wrap colour thoughts

So i recently bought a midnight blue turbo cab. It has the blue ragtop.
i am thinking about getting it wrapped in white. I have always loved white Cars and blue was honestly always one of my least fav. Colours for a car.
I haven't been able to find any pics of a white car with blue soft top.

what do you guys think?
weird colour combo?
if I do it what wheels?
and any other suggestions for a colour change to match the blue roof. Had considered Minerva blue too.

I want something that stands out. And I love white.

I went with Mexico blue! If you want white, give the pearl white a thought, it looks fantastic. I've seen a few cars in that wrap!

I did wrap my car for protection, but it turned out great this way too, as where I live there is no shop that offers a full clear bra.

I was considering the exact same thing recently... and I have a midnight blue cab with blue top also. There's tons of pics of white 996 turbos online to see what it will look like. I personally didn't care much for the white with dark top as much as white on a coupe... but that's just my dumb opinion.

I think white with a blue rah top looks great!

I had a 450SL, white with navy top. I thought the color combination looked very classy. I've seen a Jaguar XJS in that color combo also that looked great.

BTW, you're spelling "color" wrong.

He's not! Color is used in American English, pretty much everyone else spells colour.

i try not to give up on the 'correct' way of spelling things. But the longer I am in the states the harder it gets

thanks for the post of that white/blue. I swear I looked last night and couldn't find one anywhere.

What do folks pay for a full wrap?

And curious. Can you polish and detail it like normal?

From what I've read a wrap is normally around $3k.
I don't believe you can polish it... but washing is a normal routine.

Depends on which wrap you have but yes, it's possible to polish and wax!

I'd choose a wrap color that you'd never buy!

id love a Mexico Blue car but I bet when it came down to putting my money down for one, I'd chicken out.

Wrapping it it would be a lot easier for me

Yeah something like mexico blue was a consideration for sure. Would go well with the soft top and definitely stand out.
